He waives hearing months after parents turned him in in Bethlehem gas station heist.

A Bethlehem man identified by his parents as the suspect who robbed a gas station at gunpoint will face trial in Northampton County Court after a hearing Wednesday.

Andrew Bilheimer, 24, gave up his right to a preliminary hearing before District Judge James Narlesky, automatically sending the case to county court. Police said Bilheimer was identified by his parents after investigators released surveillance photos from the Aug. 5 hold-up.

No plea deal agreement has been offered to Bilheimer, said his attorney, Robert Patterson. He declined to comment after the hearing.

A woman who identified herself as Bilheimer's mother also declined to comment after the brief hearing.

After Andrew Bilheimer's arrest, Bethlehem police said his parents turned their son in, hoping it would help their son "get the treatment he needs."

Bilheimer is charged with of robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, simple assault and reckless endangerment. He remains in Northampton County Prison under $250,000 bail.
